Here is a working system, i.e. WiFi interface working, and /etc/network/interfaces permissions
adams@debian:~$ ls -l /etc/network/interfaces -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 293 Jun 13 22:26 /etc/network/interfaces and contents of file are: --------------------------------------------------cut here # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 #NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp --------------------------------------------------cut here The issue is with the contents of the file as shown in previous email with the ssid and password in the file. I believe the 644 or even the 600 is just fine. It is that the current d-i or netinst is placing the wrong info into the interfaces file. By any chance, is the netinst program written in C? I can help if it is. I just need pointers to the code and let me work on it, if you need the help. I have taught every course there is in CS when I was a tenured prof at the University of North Texas and I was lead instructor and course developer at sgi at one time. Now spending my time writing books and the current one is on debian. FYI chuck P.S. I am about to redo the inst using eth0 and see that the daily-build netinst #3 for today gives the same results as before. I don't mind doing all the experiments needed to resolve this issue. I am retired... :-) thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
